I am trying to use the Backcolor attribute for buttons. To do this you need .net compact framework SP2. I downloaded the following file from Microsoft. netcf.all.wce4.x86.cab and set its build property to content. When using the windows CE emulator, the file shows up on the emulator in my project folder. It does not self-extract. When I click on it it first lets me know that the CF is already installed. When I go ahead and try to install it, it gives the following message:

"mscoree.dll is in use or is in rom."

What trick am I missing?. I copied the appropriate cab file to a pocket pc and it works. I can change the color for buttons.

I am using windows CE.net version 4.10

Thanks,
Keith Stallings

Thanks, Keith. I guess you downloaded from this Microsoft page? We can give it a try here.

The "trick" was to deploy my application, but not have it automatically launch. When it was running, it was using the .net cf and I could not write over it. So the sequence is:
1) add netcf.all.wce4.x86.cab part of your project
2) Deploy your project to the emulator, without having it automatically launch.
3) Click on the netcf.all.wce4.x86.cab in the emulator to install it.
4) Click on your app in the emulator to run it.
By doing this, I now have red buttons.
Thanks,
Keith Stallings

I notice you mention x86 - all ADS devices are ARM based. Most of our new CE images have SP2 already included in ROM and those that don't are being migrated as new releases come out.

Just download latest CE image 4.20 for BitsyX. But its CF is still SP1. And install of the SP2 from Microsoft fails on BitsyX. What could I do?

Thanks
Mark

It looks like we overlooked SP1 in the last BitsyX build. Build 4.20.12 rolls in the latest QFEs, including SP2. Can you give it a try?
